I first came in contact with the organization and the work they did during last year's government shutdown. I really felt for the parents not knowing when their next paycheck was coming in and the fear of not being able to pay for the items that their baby needs. I learned more about the organization and found out that while they have a large depot in the city but they have many partners in DC, MD and Va that help them distribute items to the people who need them. Because of coronavirus, it is the first time in years that the diaper bank's warehouse has been stripped completely empty. The need for donations is great and the need does not look like it will lessen anytime soon. If you have the ability to donate, you can send items to them directly through their Amazon wishlist (https://smile.amazon.com/baby-reg/greaterdcdiaperbank--january-2020-silverspring/32BHD0GQPV4IX), through a donation, or by giving your time. If you need help you can see if there is a distribution hub near you here: https://greaterdcdiaperbank.org/our-programs/diaperhubs/ Thank you to the people at DC Diaper Bank for helping parents and families everywhere!

The Capital Area food bank offers an invaluable service to the area providing food for families in need. With the tough economics times the country finds itself in, it was encouraging to be part of good works. It also brought an awareness of the circumstances that people end up in a blink of an eye.

This helped greatly in working through the grief associated with the death of my 80-year old father. In their words, "Haven is a non-profit, nonsectarian community organization of trained volunteers that offers emotional support to the bereaved, the seriously ill, the dying and to their families and friends. Haven provides education to the community about the needs of those who are grieving." - from the web site. This group teaches the mourner how to cope and confront, not mask, the grief. There is education and support. And although donations are welcome, there are no standard fees. Yes, the person who has had the loss will need to attend the 6 weekly sessions and give the process the respect it deserves. But you will grow as a person. If you are newly bereaved or even if your loss happened a while ago and you cannot 'get over' your grief of a loved one, then please consult Haven and their volunteer staff. You will not be sorry. Here is their web site so you may read for yourself to see if their program is for you: http://www.havenofnova.org/ Haven has special targeted bereavement support groups such as survivors of suicide.

A nice man came out to my waiting car to gather the other boxes and bags....hey, curb service. It was early Sunday morning, so I was able to slip into the alley for the brief moments to unload. Imagine it's hectic other days, but manageable to drop off. S.O.M.E is real deal help for the community. If you ever worry that your donations wind up with a bargain hunter who resells, give your useable stuff here. Can't say I've given to them through CFC, but I sure will start doing so after seeing their excellent website. They do it all, and, with a big smile. Thank you S.O.M.E. http://some.org/services/

This organization, much like the ASPCA and HSUS, uses frequent mailings detailing horrid atrocities…read morethat are being routinely committed against non-human species. While I love them very much, and support their important work in protecting animals, I cringe whenever I receive mailings such as their magazine, pleas for more money, and advertising for seminars to learn how to leave them money. I already donate and they're already in my will. I don't need to be hit over the head a dozen times per year with their catastrophic news. It disrupts my life and adds environmental waste. For a while I had my partner screen their magazines for inappropriate content prior to me looking through them, in case there were any interesting articles, but now they are tossed directly into recycling without any consideration for non-horrific content. There's too little of it to make the time spent worthwhile. I used to support the agency by purchasing "animal adoptions" as gifts. That's when you get a cute stuffed animal and other goodies in exchange for a donation. But I became so turned off by the grisly propaganda that I can't bother with their information resources enough to be able to adopt. I also question whether they really need my money if they can afford to waste so much paper sending me thousands of address labels, calendars, and glossy, expensive magazine-quality solicitations to listen to their experts teach me how to leave part of my estate to them. That's my estate attorney's domain, thank you very much. No matter how obnoxious these mailings are however, I will continue to support any and all efforts to save animals from human stupidity.
